"Eldo's ability is real ... but he's a Novice, so he doesn't improve his rank."

"... Novice?"

Listening to the branch chief, I show my guild card.

It had a profession name of Novice, a rank of E, and the word "special rank up".

"... Is it really Novice? If you have other occupations, aren't you hiding occupations for some reason?"

"I'm not hiding it, but I didn't see any profession jewels ... I would shine if I had a sage jewel."

"A wise man? Is it the name of a profession?"

"Yes, it's a profession close to a wizard."

Well, the magical part is the same, but the magician and the sages aren't very close in battle.

A wizard cannot be as varied and flexible as a sage.

"... It's a name I've never heard of. Did you pick the material out of the empty spots just because of your profession?"

"That's how it is"

"I see ... I'm safe because I keep my confidentiality right. If you want, I'll make the current information confidential."

"Hide me with information about my skills."

Then when the conversation was broken ... Milia said.

It's the timing as we had consulted in advance.

"As I said, Eld is a Novice, so I can't rank up, but if I'm recommended by the Guild Chief, I can go up in rank .... I went to the Forest of Death and lived with the monsters and came home. Don't you think it's an achievement worthy of rank promotion? "

"... Of course. I feel that D rank is a waste, but ... it's a rule. You can only raise one rank with one achievement, and approval of other branch managers for certification of C rank or higher. It takes time because it is necessary. Is D rank acceptable? "

"Of course, thank you for being promoted."

It went up to D rank in no time.

Just yesterday I was promoted to E rank.

"So ... the rest of the Brad Tigers are in the" Sage "skill, right?"

"Ah"

With that said, I pulled out another Blood Tiger.

Since there is no more space on the table, it is placed directly on the floor.

"… When this number is reached, it takes time to assess ……”

"Isn't it really possible to buy it?"

"No, there are as many buyers as possible for high-ranking monster materials in the forest of death. Of course I will buy them all.

If such a large number of high-ranking monsters are brought in, will they be worried about buying funds?

Well, there's still plenty of room for magic storage, and you can leave it as it is.

"I see. If I don't have enough money, could I just report the defeat to the upper guild?"

"……understood"

Basically, defeating monsters is not an achievement unless you receive a request.

If you don't do that, some people will try to sell the material you just bought and make it a track record.

...... But when it comes to demons of A rank and B rank, the story changes.

In the first place, it is not a partner you can aim for, and if you make poor requests, many adventurers will die erroneously because of penalties.

Therefore, high-ranking monsters become achievements as adventurers simply by bringing in materials when defeated.

It seems that sometimes adventurers try to exploit it and bring in the purchased material, but they are all out.

Probably, the guild puts invisible marks on the purchased material.

After such a conversation, we had to wait for a purchase assessment.

About an hour later.

After the assessment was completed, we returned to the guild's special room.

"I've managed to get enough cash .... I'll buy them all for 210 million gil, but is that OK?"

...... It is a terrible amount.

However, as it is less than twice as much as a single Raging Ape, the ranks of B rank monsters and A rank demons seem to be different.

"I don't mind. How about the rank up?"

"Is it a rank promotion? ... There is no precedent for rank A promotion in a lower rank, but if you have such achievements, you may arrive. ... Yes. If you want achievements in the guild, request a reconnaissance in the forest of death. Do you not receive? "

To Milia's question, the chief answered.

Is there any unprecedented rank A for lower rank jobs?

I don't know how many A-ranks there are, but it seems no doubt that the low-ranking jobs are pretty bad.

"Request a reconnaissance?"

"Oh, there's a place in the forest of death that you need to hurry to look at ... but nobody wants to be asked to get inside the forest of death. There is no precedent anyway, so I can't say when I can be promoted, but if I get this request, I'll do my best. "

"... What do you do, Eldo? I would like to receive it if I could ..."

Mirlia seems to have received it. When she finally gets into the forest, she can't guarantee each other.

The difficulty will be completely different if you move as you like and defeat the monster, or if you need to set a destination somewhere and absolutely reach it.

...... If I'm all alone, it's going to be quite manageable if I use "Magic Concealment".

"Before deciding whether to accept, I want to check the contents of the request. Can you tell me before accepting?"

"... Of course. You can ask the content and then decide whether to accept it."

He said he spread the map of the Forest of Death.

A large red cross is marked on one part of the map.

Pointing to the cross, the branch chief says.

"There should be a large and prominent pillar at this position .... It looks like this."

The branch director writes a picture of the pillar with a characteristic shape.

The shape was familiar.
